A man was driving when he saw the flash of a traffic camera. He figured that his picture had been taken for exceeding the limit, even though he knew that he was not speeding.

Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed.

Now he began to think that this was quite funny, so he drove even slower as he passed the area again, but the traffic camera again flashed.

He tried a fourth time with the same result. He did this a fifth time and was now laughing when the camera flashed as he rolled past, this time at a snail's pace...


Two weeks later, he got five tickets in the mail for driving without a seat belt.

You just can't fix stupid.

It seems to me that one way to beat the system is to have your own "black-box."  Mini's camera's all 4 directions, a computer to record your speed, and a microphone you can turn on to record a conversation between the authorites and you.  This way you have a defense and they cannot lawfully tell you to turn it off since it is public roads.

People should see documentaries of the police state America, England and other nations are becoming and the abuses of goverment towards its citizens.

The real problem fighting these things is that cash strapped municipality's see it as a quick means for replenishing their coffers. So do you think the local judges & officials will do much to stop them when the fines help pay their way? I think not.

A lot of folks in the DFW area have apparently stopped paying them because there is nothing the cities or red light cameras can really do to collect. It's not a moving violation because a cop did not issue the ticket.

If you decide to pay them, you're right.  But if you fight it in court, you bring your own video proving your innocence, and they still decide against you, you can get publicity against the city and they system.

All it takes is some pressure and they will step back and do the right thing.
